After poking my cat, the needle came out and stabed my finger, will I contract Kidney failure or will the fluid be harmfull to me?:(

Thanks. Thank you so much for posting this.
This is a little different than what my dr showed me, and I think I like this method better. I def. do not have a cooperative patient though.

@nlavallo . We had the same problem. We have two suggestions and they worked for us. We administer the fluids in an unfamiliar location in our home. Kitty is busy checking out the new environment and not focusing on what we are doing. Our cat goes "flat" in her carrier/vet office, so we take her in her carrier to the new location in our home for her fluids. If this doesn't work, try giving kitty Rescue Remedy, 4 drops, in the mouth. It works immediately to calm kitty down.

Dr. Brooks, I've been a little nervous about giving fluids and this video really helps. Thank you very much!

SquishyFish, Kidney failure is not contagious this way and the fluid will not be harmful to you.

If the cat tries to escape, you can try putting her in a cardboard carrier (the kind that opens from the top) so she is more confined. If you think the needle is actually hurting her, you can try a needle with a smaller diameter (but the fluid admin will take longer).

Just try to be more careful about where you put the needle. You should still be able to bring up the "tent" even in a very thin cat but if you aren't sure, just try to keep the needle parallel to the cat's body rather than pointing down into the cat. If the needle goes too far forward and comes out the other side of the skin just back it up a little until the bevel is all the way inside.

Usually the needle bevel is facing up when an injection is given but it really doesn't matter for SQ fluids. The angle of the needle is also not particularly important so long as it doesn't come out the other side of the skin.
